Everyone Can Garden Series (Zoom)—Sessions will be held on April 1, June 1, July 20, and Aug. 31 at 6 p.m. Do you have a physical limitation, such as mobility issues, chronic pain, arthritis, or skin sensitivities, that constrains outdoor activity? Do you want to know how you can still enjoy gardening despite these challenges? OSU Extension and the CFAES Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion invite you to the 2021 Gardening with Physical Limitations Webinar Series: Everyone Can Garden! We will address the basics of planning and planting a vegetable garden, basic maintenance including pest management, and canning and preservation basics, and will finish with end-of-season clean up and preparation for next year, all while taking into consideration a variety of physical limitations. Each session is designed to be a stand-alone program, so feel free to attend as many or few as you want! This webinar series is free and open to the public. For more information, click here.
